The conclusion is that Boardroom leadership
delivered by corporate directors with cybersecurity
expertise creates and protects business value by
reducing cybersecurity and systemic risk.
Whether creating business value or protecting it,
the evidence shows the positive business impacts
that effective digital and cybersecurity governance
provides while reinforcing the board’s central role
as a control in the digital business system. From
digital value creation to cybersecurity risk mitigation,
this research along with DDN’s observations and the
experiences of our DDN members also support these
findings.
Boardroom leadership matters. Strengthening the
boardroom as a leadership control in the complex
digital business system strengthens all controls
— that is its superpower. Strengthening the
boardroom strengthens the entire control system. It
is the most powerful leverage point available to drive
digital innovation and cybersecurity resilience. It is
also a superpower that is readily available to every
board and a high ROI solution that can be efÏciently
and quickly implemented.
At DDN, together with our members, we know how to
solve this puzzle. Read on to learn how you can too.
